Joe.My.God. LGBT News

As expected, openly gay NY Attorney General candidate Sean Patrick Maloney finished third in yesterday’s primary, as Andrew Cuomo easily steamrollered over Maloney and Mark Green. Cuomo is (not incidentally), the son of former NY Governor Mario Cuomo, as again, name recognition trumps all among the feeble-minded electorate. (By the way, Cuomo presently supports gay marriage, although he has not …

My first view as I emerge from the subway in the morning is the bus stop for the express airport buses from Grand Central. The fare to JFK is $15, versus $60+ in a cab, and the bus is just as fast.

The murky legality of the online gambling industry in the U.S., what with the feds arresting industry corporate honchos at airports, has not dissuaded ParadisePoker.com from taking this huge honking billboard at One Times Square. Similarly unfazed are the people behind ComeOutPoker.com, “the world’s first online poker site catering exclusively to the Gay Lesbian Bisexual Transgender (GLBT) community”, which launched …

2PM I’m walking past our conference room where one of the sales teams is having a meeting. Somebody inside says, “We should just ask Joe.

About ten minutes later, I got a call from Terrence in Orlando. “Honey, you should look out your window because a plane just hit the World Trade Center!” I have a fabulous view of the Chrysler Building from my office, but to see the …

At 11am, we took the bikes onto the D train from underneath the Upper West Side’s Dakota, emerging about 40 minutes later at the end of the line on Coney Island, the first visit for all three of us. We wandered around the boardwalk for awhile, marveling at an attraction called Shoot …
